Inkscape Preferences Dialog

There are too many options in the dialog to cover here. It is worthwhile
to scan through the options under each entry. The most important
options have already been mentioned in the text. They include:
Setting the Rotation snap angle and other
scaling parameters under the Step entry;
determining if transformations should be
Optimized or Preserved
under the Transforms entry;
and
setting the Default export resolution under
the Misc entry.

All the preferences are stored in the file
preferences.xml located on
Linux at
~/.config/inkscape/ and on
Windows at
%userprofile%\Application Data\Inkscape\.
There are quite a
few preferences, some undocumented, that are accessible
only by hand-editing this file. See the
next section for some of these.
